- a barrier layer comprising second III-V material positioned on or over the channel layer, the barrier layer having a bandgap larger than that of the channel layer;
- a doped group III-V layer disposed on the second III-V barrier layer;
- a gate conductor disposed on the doped group III-V layer;
- a source electrode contacting the barrier layer on a first side of the gate conductor;
- a drain electrode contacting the barrier layer on a second side of the gate conductor;
- a first passivation layer positioned on the barrier layer, and having a first dielectric constant;
- a second passivation layer positioned on the first passivation layer, and having a second dielectric constant, the second dielectric constant being greater than the first dielectric constant;
- a third passivation layer positioned on the second passivation layer and over the first passivation layer, and having a third dielectric constant greater than the first dielectric constant;
- a first field plate embedded in the third passivation layer and laterally extending only from a first start point that is positioned between the gate conductor and the drain electrode to a second end point that is positioned between the gate conductor and the drain electrode;
- a second field plate embedded in the third passivation layer laterally extending only from a first start point that is positioned between the gate conductor and the drain electrode to a second end point that is positioned between the gate conductor and the drain electrode, wherein the second field plate at least partially extends directly over the first field plate;
- a third field plate positioned on a top surface of the third passivation layer laterally extending only from a first start point that is positioned between a position directly above the gate conductor or between the gate conductor and the drain electrode to a second end point that is positioned between the gate conductor and the drain electrode, wherein the third field plate completely extends directly over the first field plate and the second field plate.
